door hai kinaara, door hai kinaara
gahari nadi ki dhaara, tuti teri naiya, maajhi
khete jaao re, he he naiya
khete jaao re, dur hai kinaara, ho

aandhi kabhi toofaan kabhi, kabhi majhadhaar
o maajhi re, he he maajhi re
aandhi kabhi toofaan kabhi, kabhi majhadhaar
jeet hai usi ki jisane, maani nahi haar
maajhi, khete jaao re, dur hai kinaara ho

dubte huye ko bahut hai, tinake ka sahara
o maajhi re, he he maajhi re
doobate huye ko bahut hai, tinake ka sahara
man jahaan maan le maajhi
e he man jahaan maan le maajhi, waheen hai kinaara
maajhi, khete jaao re, dur hai kinaara ho
he he naiya khete jaao re

The shore recedes, a distant gleam,
The river’s soul, a shadowed stream.
Your vessel breaks, its timbers groan,
O Boatman, row, and row alone.
Row onward, row, though far the shore,
Row onward, row, forevermore.

Through storms you face, and tempests rise,
Through swirling depths that pierce the skies.
O Boatman, hear the raging call,
O Boatman, stand though kingdoms fall.
The victory won by those who strive,
Who refuse to die, but stay alive.
Boatman, row, though far the shore,
Row onward, row, forevermore.

To drowning souls, a straw's embrace,
A fragile hope in time and space.
O Boatman, hear the drowning's plea,
O Boatman, set the spirit free.
Where heart believes, the shore is found,
Where faith resides, on sacred ground.
Boatman, row, though far the shore,
Row onward, row, forevermore.
Row onward, row, your vessel's plea.
